Encouraging people to post positive and uplifting stories to social media

It’s an online effort encouraging people to post positive and uplifting stories to social media about acts of kindness during the COVID-19 pandemic using the hashtag #OrilliaCares.

This campaign provides an opportunity to share positive stories and socially connect in a time when we must physically distance.

“We have heard wonderful stories in the community where businesses, groups and individuals have gone above and beyond to help someone during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s important during these challenging times to share the good news stories as well. Let’s shine a light on the positive stories that demonstrate just how resilient the human spirit is and why Orillia is known to be such a caring, philanthropic community,” said Mayor Steve Clarke.
